Expert Solution
Step 1

"Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will provide the solution only to the first three sub-parts as per our Q&A guidelines. Please repost the remaining sub-parts separately."

The average daily balance on the credit card depicts the total amount of balance at the day's end divided by the number of days in the cycle of billing.
The interest due on the card is computed by multiplying the interest rate by the average daily balance for the specified period.
The  total of average daily balance and the interest due each month is the total amount owed.
